Every LTL shipment Warp moved, all customers, Sep 19 to Oct 18, 2026. Each lane here was delivered on time 95% of the time or better and booked again by 3 or more shippers. How we count
Warp operates freight shipping in San Francisco through a combination of local 3rd party carriers and cross dock routing.
When you book a shipment in the Bay Area, a local carrier picks up from your facility and moves freight into the Warp network.
LTL shipments consolidate through Warp cross dock infrastructure before dispatching on line haul trucks heading south on I-5 toward Los Angeles and Southern California, east on I-80 toward Sacramento and the Central Valley, and connecting to national routes through cross dock facilities in Denver and beyond.
Box truck and cargo van shipments move direct from pickup to delivery with no intermediate handling.
Every San Francisco shipment includes the Warp driver app with live GPS tracking, scan events at pickup and delivery, proof of delivery photos, and e signatures.
San Francisco freight shipping covers every major warehouse and distribution corridor in the Bay Area.
Warp carriers pick up from the I-880 corridor through Fremont, Newark, and Hayward, the backbone of East Bay distribution where ecommerce fulfillment centers and tech company distribution operations are concentrated.
The I-680 corridor through Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore serves as the gateway to the Central Valley and handles consumer goods and food distribution.
The Port of Oakland along the Oakland waterfront generates import freight that feeds into East Bay DCs.
South Bay distribution along US 101 through San Jose and Milpitas handles semiconductor and electronics supply chain freight.
San Francisco itself has almost no warehouse space, which means nearly all freight destined for the city originates from East Bay and South Bay facilities.
Warp at $233 per pallet, all inclusive. Every rate is one press from booking, no account needed.
Warp dispatches from a network of 14,000+ box trucks and cargo vans operated by local 3rd party carriers. In San Francisco, same day dispatch is available for both box truck and cargo van loads.
Every 26 foot box truck is liftgate equipped and handles 1 to 12 pallets.
Cargo vans handle cartons, cases, parcels, or up to 3 pallets for tight access deliveries like SoMa office buildings, Mission District storefronts, Marina District businesses on narrow streets, and Union Square retail locations with freight elevator only access.
Book by 10:30am local and get same day pickup and delivery within the Bay Area.
Cargo vans are often the only practical option for San Francisco deliveries where steep hills, narrow streets, and parking restrictions make box truck access impossible.
Warp LTL shipments originating in or destined for San Francisco consolidate through Warp cross dock infrastructure.
Unlike traditional terminal networks where freight sits on docks and passes through 3 to 5 handling events, Warp cross dock facilities are designed for flow.
Freight arrives, gets sorted and consolidated, and moves out on the next outbound truck. Bay Area to Los Angeles is the highest volume intrastate lane in California.
Bay Area to Sacramento and Bay Area to Portland routes serve the Pacific coast corridor. Longer haul shipments to the Midwest and East Coast route through the Denver cross dock for consolidation.
Per pallet pricing applies to every LTL load with no freight class required.
Warp freight rates in San Francisco follow per pallet pricing for LTL and box truck loads. Enter your pallet count, weight, and dimensions to get an instant rate.
The price you see includes pickup from your Bay Area facility, all handling at cross dock facilities, line haul transport, and final delivery. No fuel surcharges get added after booking.
No accessorial fees for liftgate, residential delivery, or inside pickup. No congestion surcharges for San Francisco city deliveries.
Bay Area shippers on recurring programs with consistent volume qualify for enterprise rate cards with locked pricing and dedicated carrier assignment through Work Queue, which puts the same drivers on your routes for consistency.
Our AI systems monitor every Warp shipment moving through the Bay Area in real time.
AI systems track pickup compliance, transit progress against expected delivery windows, and flag exceptions before your team has to chase them.
If a driver is stuck on the Bay Bridge or delayed in I-880 traffic through the East Bay corridor, AI systems trigger an alert. If a shipment misses a scan event, AI systems escalate.
For Bay Area shippers managing tech company office supply schedules, ecommerce fulfillment timelines, or retail replenishment across the metro, this means fewer missed deliveries and fewer chargebacks.
Carrier performance is tracked on every load. A carrier that slips gets coaching first and comes off your lane assignments only if it does not recover.

Warp is the open source freight network: the tech is free and the network is open. We run Warp LTL, our own carrier, Warp FTL, cargo van, box truck and fulfillment ourselves, with every major LTL carrier, parcel, ocean, air and drayage plugged in beside them. Our driver app rides on every truck and our warehouse app runs every cross-dock, so an open network of 38,000+ carriers behaves like one carrier you control. Warp is licensed by the FMCSA as a property broker and freight forwarder, and runs the network itself: instant rates, live tracking, 70+ cross-dock facilities, 14,000+ cargo vans and box trucks, 80%+ US LTL zip-to-zip coverage and nationwide FTL, box truck and cargo van.
The network is supported by 24,000+ vetted FTL carriers.
Unlike traditional brokers, Warp uses AI to match the right vehicle to every load based on weight, dimensions, urgency, and cost targets. Cross-dock operations reduce transit time by eliminating unnecessary terminal transfers.
Pool distribution and zone-skipping programs help enterprise shippers lower per-unit delivery costs while maintaining tight appointment windows.
Self-serve shippers can quote, compare, and book freight online in under two minutes. Enterprise accounts get dedicated capacity planning, committed rate programs, and a named operations team. Every shipment includes scan-level visibility from pickup through final delivery.

| Mode | Max payload | Max cube | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo van | 3,500 lbs | 400 cu ft | Time-sensitive, last-mile, light pallets |
| Box truck | 10,000 lbs | 1,500 cu ft | Regional distribution, no dock required |
| LTL | Per-pallet | Shared trailer | Lower per-pallet cost via cross-dock routing |
| Dry van / FTL | 42,000+ lbs | Full 53-ft trailer | High-volume lanes, recurring programs |
Cargo vans handle loads up to 3,500 pounds and 400 cubic feet, ideal for time-sensitive deliveries, last-mile retail replenishment, and lightweight palletized freight.
Box trucks carry up to 10,000 pounds and 1,500 cubic feet, fitting most regional distribution and store delivery needs without requiring a loading dock.
Dry vans and full truckloads move 42,000+ pounds for high-volume lanes and recurring programs. LTL shipments share trailer space on optimized routes through Warp cross-docks, reducing per-pallet cost by consolidating multiple shippers on the same vehicle.
Warp does not default every shipment to a 53-foot trailer. The AI engine evaluates load weight, cube, delivery window, and cost to recommend the right vehicle. Shippers see all available mode options with live pricing in one comparison screen before booking.
Cross-docking at Warp facilities keeps freight moving instead of storing it: inbound freight is sorted and transferred directly to outbound vehicles, typically within hours. When inventory does need to sit, Warp's fulfillment centers in Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago and New Jersey hold it inside the same network, with same day delivery within 30 miles of each.
This reduces dwell time, lowers damage risk, and compresses delivery windows. Warp cross-docks support pallet-in, pallet-out operations with scan-level tracking at every handoff point.
Facility locations are selected for corridor density: Atlanta handles Southeast retail flow, Chicago serves Midwest manufacturing and replenishment, Houston covers Texas industrial distribution, and New York supports dense Northeast delivery. Each facility operates on appointment-based scheduling to prevent congestion and maintain throughput consistency.
Enterprise shippers get committed rate programs, dedicated account management, and custom SLA design. Warp builds lane-by-lane rate structures that account for volume commitments, seasonal variation, and mode flexibility. Operations teams monitor shipment execution daily and intervene proactively when exceptions occur.
Shippers enter origin and destination, load details, and delivery requirements to see live rates across all available modes. Quotes include estimated transit time, vehicle type, and total cost.
Booking takes one click. After booking, shippers track every shipment with real-time GPS location, milestone updates, and proof of delivery documentation.
Retail shippers use Warp for store replenishment programs that deliver to hundreds of locations per week on tight appointment windows. Apparel brands use zone skipping to bypass regional parcel sortation and reduce per-unit delivery cost.
Food and beverage companies rely on time-definite delivery for perishable goods. Manufacturing operations use Warp for inbound vendor consolidation, combining multiple supplier shipments into fewer, fuller loads through cross-dock facilities.
Distribution companies use pool distribution to serve multiple delivery points from a single origin, splitting full truckloads at cross-docks into smaller last-mile vehicles.
Urgent freight recovery covers emergency capacity needs when primary carriers fail or demand spikes unexpectedly. Middle-mile optimization reduces cost and transit time on the longest segment of multi-leg shipments.
